Why build your own picture quiz

Printable geography quizzes are handy for a quick warm-up, but they rarely match the exact maps, regions and photos on your course syllabus. A geography picture quiz built from your own textbook pages or lecture slides tests the places and landforms you were actually assigned.

Upload map photos, scanned atlas pages or slides and get questions about the labels on them.
Mix multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions in one quiz.
Read a short explanation after every answer, right or wrong.
Export to PDF, DOCX or Anki on Plus, and to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro.

Example geography picture quiz questions

Which river flows through Cairo and empties into the Mediterranean Sea?The Nile. It is the longest river in Africa, and its delta forms the fertile northern part of Egypt.

A satellite photo shows a wide, fan-shaped area of land where a river meets the sea. What landform is this?A delta. Sediment drops out where the river slows at its mouth, and it builds up into land.

True or false: Mount Kilimanjaro is a volcano.True. It is a dormant stratovolcano in Tanzania, and its highest peak is called Kibo.

Which type of map uses contour lines to show elevation?A topographic map. Contour lines join points of equal height, so lines packed closely together mean a steep slope.

What is a fjord?A long, narrow inlet of the sea between steep cliffs, carved by glaciers. It is common along the coasts of Norway and New Zealand.

Generate the full set

Built from your images

Photos of map pages and diagrams are read with text recognition, so place names, labels and captions become quiz material.

Explanations on every answer

Each question comes with a short reason for the correct answer, so missed items become a lesson rather than a dead end.

Review that sticks

Quiz questions can be turned into flashcards with spaced repetition, so geography facts come back right before you forget them.

How it works

Add your material

Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of the map or page you are studying.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, or mix them in one quiz.

Quiz and review

Take the quiz in your browser, read the explanations, then repeat the questions you missed.

Start with the image you care about, such as a labeled river basin, a photo of a landform from class or a scanned atlas page. DeckOwl reads the text on the image and generates questions that ask you to name, locate or compare what is shown, with an explanation for each answer.

Because the quiz comes from your material, you can repeat it as often as you need. Free accounts study in the browser. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export and Anki export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for course platforms.
